PechaKucha Presentation

Why and how did I become an illustrator?

How did that sweet innocent young lad with soft blonde hair do such a horrific drawing of his own mother? and why? let me explain... This caricature of Gavin Pryke's mother is where his love of drawing really started, he quickly learned the power of drawing a shy little boy could easily punish his own mother and make everyone laugh at the same time. Nice. He continued to do this throughout his adolescence painting his school teachers naked on the walls of my home town.
